We sketch anything related to the "home" only. We do NOT add sketch 's of sheds, ect, but we note the size and include photos of them in the report.
If a pool is in a patio or deck that is attached to the home, we will include it in the sketch.
The current and past M&M contractor for our area has never said anything about the way we do our sketches.
Plus if you go back to the 4150.2 this is the only line I can find about a sketch.The only thing I can find about shed ect. has to do with Lead based paint.
Make them show you something in writing from HUD that has to deal with sketching outbuildings and pools. If they come up with something, I need to see it also.
4150.2 D-13 The appraiser must include propery sketch including exterior dimensions of house, patios, porches, garages, breezeways and other offsets.
This is why they claim I need to include detached garages, evidently they don't comprehend that these are referredng to structures attacehd to the dwelling. I can't seem to make them understand.
I have never dealt with such fools
